Enhancement of Communications Resiliency in Sub-Saharan AfricaSimone Sala
Despite tremendous growth in the area of mobile telephony, Africa continues to lag behind other developing regions in Internet access. The business opportunity to capitalize upon this Internet Protocol (IP) traffic need has not gone unnoticed. Major communications service providers have been investing heavily in Ka-band communications (the Ka-band is part of the K band of the electromagnetic spectrum) — which can carry more data than lower frequencies and offers additional frequency ranges at already occupied satellite positions — such that next generation Ka-band satellites can be responsive to the burgeoning IP traffic market. However, these Ka- band systems have disadvantages compared to lower frequency solutions; Ka-band systems are much more susceptible to weather due to signal absorption by moisture in the air and by wetness on antenna surfaces. These inherent limitations of the Ka-band hold a special significance for communications in Africa since almost a third of the continent is tropical in climate, and weather patterns across the continent are expected to further increase in variability, including increases in the frequency of extreme events, such as storms. The Paper further explores how the use of TV White Spaces, in addition to the availability of real-time weather information via the notion of “humans of sensors,” could be particularly useful for observing, anticipating, and mitigating disruptions to communications services.

Many African governments speak highly about role of innovation and SMEs as necessities to take Africa forward. High unemployment levels and lack of corporate employment opportunities also force people look opportunities in becoming entrepreneurs. Many NGOs and funds have invested a lot in creating a wide variety of actions around “innovation” yet concrete results – besides bunch of seminars, events and programmes – seem to be lacking.
Wearables, IoT and consumer robotics are amongst the hottest topics highlighted at Startup Village 2014. They attract both younger generation teams and investors with international track, promising significant growth potential in future.

Living in a Hyper-Connected World – How Cities Need to get Smarter and More D...Nirvesh Sooful
Cities are where the action is. That's where innovation is happening. A city is an interconnected system of systems. Infrastructure, people, processes and technology make a city. In modern cities, there's a lot of data about everything. Lots of sensors are already deployed everywhere - in buildings, roads, and utility grids; and lots of new information-based processes are in place. Everything is more information-rich, so you have to think about information as another significant resource you use to manage city life. Citizens are also more connected than ever before, they have access to a lot more information, and have powerful platforms of their own. Big data, mobile, social media, cloud, digital inclusion, open data, broadband, etc. are powerful forces that will impact on cities now and in the future - creating both opportunities and challenges for cities. This case study explores the digital enablement of one large South African city.
In 2000, the newly formed metropolitan City of Cape Town adopted the “Smart City” strategy, which was a turnaround strategy for the city aimed at information-enabling all key business processes in the city and embarking upon a modernisation programme to deliver services based on real information emanating from the ground (operations). This case study looks both at what has been done in the 13 years since the Smart City strategy was adopted, as well as what needs to be done in a future hyperconnected world. In addition to being of relevance to government leaders, the presentation should be of relevance to all CIOs and business leaders on how today’s new technologies, global competition and new business models will shift the focus from an internal efficiency view to a more outside-in view of the digital world and the role of their organisation within it.

The Hong Kong government supports smart city operations and smart lamp post related actions. Smart lamp posts together with 5G can encompass various industries and thus can offer opportunities also for Finnish companies. Hong Kong aims to become a “world class smart city”. In ”Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint” smart lamp posts are mentioned as one action point and 50 smart lamp posts should be in use by the summer of 2019. The figure is set to rise to 400, and during 2019, a tender will likely be opened for the remaining 350 smart lamp posts. Smart lamp posts can serve several different functions and these are currently experimented in Science Park and the Smart City Pilot Area.
Japan is the second-largest retail market globally. For decades Japanese consumer’s preferences and cultural trends have been influential trend setting phenomenona. To understand how global consumer trends are transforming, it is important to look Japanese consumers behavior and attitudes towards consuming. Today we see behavior shifting. The change of Japanese consumers is not only about what people in Tokyo buy, but also how and what they think when they make decisions for purchases.
Future Watch report and analysis of consumer trends and lifestyles in Japan was done in collaboration with Euromonitor International’s Tokyo office researchers.

A recent Future Watch study identifies and describes future consumer trends in Mainland China and Hong Kong over the next 2-10 years. These trends are likely to impact the products and services these consumers buy and the marketing they respond to. It aims to identify significant trends that are specific to China’s unique market.
Central to the forecasting is identifying 12 consumer roles that represent key China trends. Each role has an accompanying case study which explains how brands are starting /planning to tap into these nascent trends.
Both India's Space and Cyber Defence areas contain gaps to keep up with global development. India’s space defence program is guided by policies to counter the capabilities of China and Pakistan. While India has made long strides with cost effective mission to Mars and a successfully launching record number of satellites, there are several gaps in its space defence. While in the space communication arena, at present, India has extremely limited space-based COMINT (Communications Intelligence) capabilities. Cyber security of satellite communications is another arena for potential collaboration between countries. Also, to achieve complete control of satellite communications & intelligence C4ISR, India needs to have a constellation of satellites in the space with extreme communication technology at disposal. In the Space Situational Awareness area India needs radar-independent tracking methods such as lasers, coherent infrared sensors and space systems with a sole purpose of tracking the functional capabilities of suspected/rogue satellites with military connect.
In cyber-security area, according to Gartner, cyber-security in India is growing to be a $1.5 bn market by 2019 & forecasted to grow over 19% during 2018-2023. Average spend on cyber security is currently at ~3% compared to a global average of 10-15% of the IT budget. India would need a trained pool of million professionals in cyber-security by 2025.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

44. Key Strategic Conclusions
1. Global and African Mega Trends are beginning to have an impact in Africa across
multiple industries. Examine them carefully to optimally develop medium and long
term strategies in current and new markets
2. Africa currently has 7 of the world’s fastest growing economies in Sub Saharan Africa
and will be the last growth frontier
3. Product and Services are required to be tailored for African conditions as customers
demand more customisation
4. All these trends are global and have global ramifications thereby offering scalable
opportunities
5. Selecting the right sector, country and local partner will be critical to a successful
market entry in Africa
6. Africa is for the long haul and has to be seen from a long term growth strategy stand
point.
